Information Architecture & Wireframes
You wouldn't build a house without plans, start a company without a business plan or bake a cake without a recipie. In the same vein, you would be remiss to invest heavily in the development and design of a website without having any plans in place. That's a long way of saying that the development of your site's Internet architecture and the production of wireframing documentation is imperative to achieve a successful outcome for your project.
Information Architecture
Information architecture concerns the organization of your data (information) on your website. Understanding and organizing your information is not only critical for us to understand your needs, but it's also critical for the success of your website. Information architecture documentation contains site maps that show wesbite page hierarchy and navigation, taxonomy, content type structures and user profile structures.
Functional Specification
Born out of the requirements specification and capture phase of our engagement process, the functional specification details the bells and whistles of your website and how they will function. This is an extremely detailed document and serves as a reference point throughout development, testing and launch.
Wireframes & Website Flow Documentation
With information architecture and functional specification in place, wireframing is a useful way to plan the layout of your website and identify key pieces of your website functionality. Wireframes are low-fidelity sketches that detail where elements of your site will be positioned and the general layout of your web pages. Website flow documents detail the key interations and navigation paths users will experience with your website.
